I have been blogging since late 2006 and I am grateful to the community of bloggers and visitors who have visited and left comments and generally made this whole blogging experience so enjoyable.   Invariably some posts were more popular than others as demonstrated by the number of comments and visits.

However, the main purpose of this blog was always for me to experiment with ways of expressing my more emotional and artistic side which for the most part had been subjugated by the more rationale and scientific nature of my academic training and career discipline.  So there were also some posts that I enjoyed creating.

And so, for newcomers and old timers, I present both the Readers’ Favorites and my own selection.  Please enjoy.
